AB In a case-control study, the effect of recent pregnancy on the risk of
developing active tuberculosis among women of reproductive age was
investigated in Santo Domingo. Human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)-positive and HIV-negative women diagnosed with new-onset
tuberculosis (TB) were compared, respectively, with HIV-positive and
HIV-negative women without TB with regard to reproductive history,
demographic characteristics, and risk factors for HIV infection. In
neither HIV-positive nor HIV-negative women was recent pregnancy or
childbirth associated with an increased risk of developing active TB.
These results fail to confirm earlier suggestions that pregnancy
increases the risk that a woman of child-bearing age infected with
Mycobacterium tuberculosis will develop active TB.
